William Gibson’s iconic cyberpunk novel ‘Neuromancer’ is finally on its way to the small screen. Apple TV+ has announced that Callum Turner will star as the protagonist, Henry Dorsett Case, in their upcoming adaptation of the novel. In Gibson’s seminal work, Case is a former hacker whose nervous system has been damaged by his former employers as punishment for stealing from them. As a result, Case is locked out of cyberspace, a vital aspect of his life. However, his life takes a turn when he is approached by a mysterious group led by Molly Millions, a razorgirl assassin, and her enigmatic boss, Armitage. They offer Case a chance to regain access to cyberspace in exchange for his services as a hacker. Desperate to reclaim his former abilities, Case reluctantly accepts their offer, unaware of the dangerous path that lies ahead. Turner’s casting as Case marks a significant milestone in the development of the ‘Neuromancer’ adaptation. With his critically acclaimed performances in ‘Masters of the Air’ and ‘Fantastic Beasts,’ Turner brings a depth and intensity that promises to capture the essence of Gibson’s unforgettable character. The ‘Neuromancer’ series is being developed for television by showrunner Graham Roland and director JD Dillard, who will helm the pilot episode. Gibson is serving as an executive producer on the project, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of his groundbreaking work. Apple TV+ has yet to announce a premiere date for the series, but the casting of Turner as Case signals that production is well underway. Fans of Gibson’s dystopian masterpiece can eagerly anticipate the arrival of ‘Neuromancer’ on Apple TV+, where the enigmatic world of cyberspace will come to life once again.
